The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2021 and March 3, 2021. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 7, 2021 and October 13, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 26, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 5, 2022 the House voted to kill it on a division vote 197–159.
